Human Shackles - Chapter45

Luo Kai carried three bags of rice and staggered into the yard. Erya was washing clothes by the sink. The tap water in winter was extremely cold. Her little hands were full of frostbite. Children from poor families had to take charge of the household early. Hardworking was the way to survive for the people at the bottom. Erya was good at washing, cooking and mending clothes at a young age.

"Uncle, I've helped you wash your clothes."

With Erya as his neighbor, Luo Kai became more and more lazy. He basically didn't need to do the laundry and cooking.

"Why don't you go to school?" Erya was studying in a nearby engineering school. Luo Kai counted the days and found that today was not a rest day.

Erya's little face was bitter. She muttered, "I don't like to study. My classmates don't like me."

Luo Kai put the rice in front of Erya's house and casually reprimanded, "How can you not go to school at such a young age? How can you earn money to support your family if you don't have some ability?"

"Uncle, teach me how to fight. I'm very strong. The boys in the class are not as strong as me." Erya suddenly threw down her clothes and rushed over to grab Luo Kai's clothes. Her eyes were full of hope.

Luo Kai paused. Looking at Erya's dark and thin little face, his heart softened. He asked softly, "Why do you want to learn how to fight?"

"I … I don't want to be bullied."

Erya was silent for a while. The childishness on her face disappeared and a trace of resentment appeared.

Luo Kai sighed inwardly. Although they had tried their best to avoid this topic these days, the incident in the fishing village had obviously planted the seed of hatred in her young heart. After pondering for a while, he solemnly said, "I can teach you physical skills, but you can't take revenge when you grow up."

Erya was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Luo Kai squatted down and said earnestly, "Erya, you are still young. You shouldn't live in hatred. The law of the jungle is the law of survival in this world. I teach you physical skills to let you have the ability to deal with danger, not to take revenge!"

Erya's eyes turned red. She could no longer bear the sorrow in her heart. She rushed into Luo Kai's arms and cried.

Luo Kai gently stroked Erya's messy hair. "I won't let them go. Do you believe me?"

Erya raised her small face with tears in her eyes and nodded heavily.

What physical skills should he teach Erya?

Luo Kai was in a bit of a dilemma. Girls were more suited for the Soft Forging Body Technique. However, if one wanted to cultivate the Soft Forging Body Technique, they had to use external force to forge their bones. Moreover, the Soft Forging Body Technique was a body cultivation technique. It did not have any combat skills. The Mighty Dragon Fist was too fierce and was not suitable for girls.

Erya was still young, so it was the best time for her to quickly accept things from the outside world. At this time, she should learn comprehensive knowledge. Physical skills were actually a kind of physical skill to study how to exert the most powerful force based on the human body structure. It was not enough to only have brute force without understanding the principle.

After pondering for a long time, he decided to teach Erya the Mighty Dragon Fist because he knew more about the Mighty Dragon Fist.

Since he had decided to teach Erya physical skills, Luo Kai tried to copy the practice method he used in South Tooth Island. He bought some big stones and moved them to the yard. The first homework every day was to knock stones. Knocking stones was a good way to exercise the body. It could make people try their best to exert all their strength. The strength of hands, legs, waist, and so on could all be used.

The practice of physical skills could not be done overnight. Erya did not have the abnormal recovery power of Luo Kai, so overdraft training was not feasible. He could only do it step by step and change her habit of exerting force since she was a child.

Erya was not afraid of hardship and had a tough character. However, her understanding of exerting force was far less than that of Luo Kai. All of this could not be rushed.

Old Geng was very opposed to Erya not going to school but learning physical skills by knocking stones in the yard all day long. He did not say anything until Luo Kai promised to let Erya re-enter the school in two days.

In fact, Luo Kai wanted Erya to go to the Panseok Sports School to learn physical skills. For this reason, he specially asked Xiao Zhuo. The annual tuition fee of the Panseok Sports School was 50,000 star dollars, which he could barely afford.

Xiao Zhuo knew that Luo Kai had a relative who was going to study in the sports school, so she took care of all the procedures. Soon, Erya became a student of the Panseok Sports School. The two girls were about the same age, but their circumstances were completely different. One was born rich, and the other was the daughter of a poor fisherman. The only thing they had in common was that they were more lively, so they soon got along well.

Xiao Zhuo felt indignant that Luo Kai taught Erya physical skills in person. She pestered him all day long. Luo Kai had no choice but to teach her all the postures of the Soft Body Forging Skill. Since then, his life was no longer peaceful. He had a headache because of the two girls.

…

On this day, as soon as Luo Kai walked into the small courtyard, a group of people in khaki coats surrounded him. One of them took out an arrest warrant from his arms and shouted, "Luo Kai, you are under arrest for fighting!"

Luo Kai's face turned cold. He stepped back slightly and said in a low voice, "When did I fight?"

"Hey, a month ago, in that roast duck restaurant, you beat up Xie Ruihu and seriously injured him. He is still lying in the hospital. Do you dare to deny it?"

Luo Kai thought quickly and remembered the strong man he met when he had dinner with Erya's family that day. However, he had a sense of propriety. At most, he would break the man's face, but it was impossible for him to be seriously injured.

"Do you still want to resist arrest?"

Luo Kai took a deep breath. It seemed that he had been blackmailed. There was no need to make a big fuss over such a trivial matter, so he raised his hand obediently.

He was shackled and escorted into a steam truck. The steam truck drove out of the city and arrived at a heavily guarded prison.

Luo Kai felt that something was wrong. "No need to confront?

Where is that Xie Ruihu? "

"Stop talking nonsense. Just go!" The guard impatiently pushed him into a cell.

It was a large bunk with all kinds of prisoners sitting on it. Among them, a tall white man was the most eye-catching. He was two meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist. His bulging muscles were full of tattoos. At first glance, one could tell that he was not a person to be trifled with.

Luo Kai was a frequent visitor of the prison. After coming in, he squatted behind the door obediently.

"Boy, what did you do?" Someone immediately asked him.

"Fight," Luo Kai answered honestly. If it was not necessary, he would try not to have conflicts with people.

"Well … You are quite sensible. It seems that you are not new to the palace. What is your name?" This time, it was the white man who spoke.

"Luo Kai."

The white man sat up abruptly. "You are Luo Kai?"

Luo Kai's expression changed. He had always been low-key. How could anyone here know him?

"Boy, you are quite capable. You killed Ma Hou, right?" The white man got out of bed and carefully looked at him.

It seemed that all of this had been premeditated for a long time. Little Zhuo's matter had passed more than a month ago. He thought it was over. He did not expect that the other party would use this method to trick him into going to prison. If he had known earlier, he would not have allowed himself to be captured.

Luo Kai stood up and glanced around with cold eyes. These days, many people had died in his hands. Unconsciously, he had developed a trace of evil spirit. Everyone who looked at him could not help but shiver and lower their heads in fear.

Even the white man could not help but feel a little numb in his scalp. He was secretly shocked. This boy was just harmless to humans and animals. How could he change his appearance in the blink of an eye? After thinking for a while, he suddenly squeezed out a smile and laughed. "Little brother, don't misunderstand. This time, someone wants to deal with you. It has nothing to do with us. We dare not get involved in Blackstone's matter."

Then he pointed to the top of his head and lowered his voice. "Someone up there wants to deal with you."
